Is money a source of stress in your life? If you answered "yes," you aren't alone. A recent study, from August 2024, uncovered some pretty stunning insights into the relationship between Americans, stress, and their wallets. When it comes to money, too many of us aren't living well. That's why I'm so excited to have James Lenhoff as our guest today. James is an entrepreneur, a certified financial planner, an author and podcaster, with one simple goal: to help release the pressure of financial stress that so many people feel. James is also the author of Living a Rich Life: The No-Regrets Guide to Building and Spending Wealth. Instead of focusing solely on spending, as many financial planners do, James looks below the surface to what is motivating our money habits. His book is filled to the brim with simple, actionable wisdom that could change the state of your bank account—and life.

After 20 years as a financial services professional and completing thousands of financial plans for clients…Ben shares the secrets to building wealth, but more importantly building a fulfilling life.
